Shadow Line Trim price
I called my local bmw dealer that is actually a sponsor on here and they quoted me 800 for the trim I called a very good custom paint and body place that does amazing work and they said 500 to paint them. I was thinking about doing the vinyl but I know it wont turn out that well if I do it and the body shop said I would really need to remove the trim to apply it properly and that is a pain. Anyone else know if the 800 is way way too high or what?

Honestly, you can just do it yourself. Vinyl for: bmwshadowline.com works really well and looks good. It's $19/$20 + s&h. If you get it wrong the first time, just do it again for a total of $40.
It's easy to work with...you have plenty of time to adjust it, smooth it out, make sure there's no folds, creases, or bubbles. Just take your time and have a friend with you who can hold the roll as you move along your trim line. If I can do it, you can do it...because I'm not the most patient person in the world, and I know working slowly on this made it look good.

I debated the same thing. I have montego blue and even though I have black performance grills, the trim looks good on tinted windows. Spend the time and money on something else unless your patient enough to do it yourself. Good luck!

Agreed with the DIY'ers above if you have the patience and still hands!!...
If not find an automotive lettering/pin striping/racing stripe type place...

I posted some info on my Vinyl experience with the trim in this thread - http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297681
I am by no means a big DIY or Vinyl guy and am very happy with how it turned out. I think you will be too when it saves you a few hundred to put towards future mods. Good luck and post some pics when you are finished! |
